Journalist Report – December 9th

Today was Day 1 for Crew 305. Crew woke up between 6 – 8 PM. We sent everyone’s top 5 favorite songs to the Mission Commander prior to the mission, so we played one of them this morning and everyone else guessed whose favorite song it was. That was the morning music. Breakfast had cereal with no milk, and coffee with no milk. After breakfast, we prepared for our first two EVAs for the Marble Ritual. EVA 1 had Hunter Vannier, Ian Parmerleau, and Peter Zoss. EVA 2 had Hunter Vannier, Rashi Jain, and Monish Lokhande. Spruha missed her Marble Ritual due to a control’s final—but she will do so tomorrow on EVA 3. EVA Sentiment: Mars was windy today. While EVA 2 was out, Ian and Peter made couscous and chickpeas for the entire crew. We all had lunch together after both EVAs. Afterwards, we helped Peter in his experiment by giving 30 minutes cognition test. Spruha’s exam went well. We all worked a little, preparing for some of the research that we proposed for this mission, and doing some of our own work. At around 6 PM, we started to assemble content for our reports for the first comm submission window. Spruha (main chef), and Monish (sous-chef) prepared dinner: Mac and Cheese. We just managed to get all our reports in, just in time.
